Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

*****

* Marc Arsenault has re-entred the small press and indie-comix sales business with his Wow Cool store recently re-launching and Arsenault making an appearance on behalf of his business at last weekend's Alternative Press Expo. I guess that's not publishing news of the kind that usually gets put here, but it seems like there are fewer outlets in general for these kinds of books and even fewer of the one-man curated store variety that it's worth noting. Also, Wow Cool has published some comics work in the past.

* Vertical announced a new licence in anticipation of more announcements this Fall in New York: the wonderfully-titled Flowers Of Evil.

* here's I guess the reason we're seeing a bunch of Shel Silverstein books out right now, with more apparently to come.

* here's a report for all the teasers on Marvel's 2012 plot-baseline setting series Point One.

* Art Adams will be covering IDW's Godzilla comics.

* Thickness #2 was an APE debut that may be OTBP for a lot of folks.

* Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens will be replacing George Perez on the Superman title. That's a veteran pair replacing a veteran creator, which seems a big part of DC's strategy on the top-tier characters.

* Paul Karasik placed a cartoon in the New Yorker this week. I wasn't 100 percent aware he was submitting.

* Benjamin Marra's Gangsta Rap Posse #2 is out, with jaw-dropping image in promotion.

* Papercutz picks up the Three Stooges license in advance of the forthcoming movie.

* finally, since this post began that way, let's end on some not-exactly-pure-publishing news. The cartoonist Frank Santoro has apparently discovered a last box of the original Storeyville publication, the tabloid version, and Copacetic Comics is selling them. If you don't have one, you want one.
